Unnecessary Roughness

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

“You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it. You can questions someone’s views without questioning their motives or their patriotism. Throwing around phrases like ’socialist’ and ‘Soviet-style takeover’ and ‘Fascist’ and ‘right-wing nut’ may grab headlines, but it closes the door to the possibility of compromise. It undermines democratic deliberation.”

~ President Obama in a commencement address at the University of Michigan as quoted in the September issue of Vanity Fair.
